Default 1969 side exhaust install
Good afternoon everyone, I'm in the middle of adding side exhaust on a 1969. I have question on what has to be trimmed on the side rocker to accommodate new side exhaust. See picture attached.

Fz2,
It's a bit of work to mimic the look of the original cars like yours but WELL WORTH the effort.
